Unrefined vs. Refined Carbohydrates – The List

So here it is, the secret to health and disease, no matter who you are.

In studying different cultures around the world from way back when all the way to now, researchers have noticed one main theme; wherever refined carbohydrates are, disease is too.

In short, there are tribes and cultures who eat mainly meat and butter while remaining free from disease and obesity. There are also cultures and tribes that eat mainly starches and vegetarian type foods while staying healthy and free from diseases.

You know what both populations have in common? NO REFINED CARBS. Just natural foods. Every culture that has introduced refined carbs has also introduced diabetes, obesity and heart disease to name a few problems.

In many ways this is good news because this makes it simple! Just eat natural foods. It doesn’t matter if it’s meat, butter, potatoes, tomatoes or apples, as long as it’s not cake and bread.

Once you alter these sugars as we do in refined carbs, you take out important ingredients such as fiber which helps the body process the sugars. Not to mention that they (more the sugars than starch) increase our appetite, are highly addictive and make us eat more than we can burn; an act not seen in nature. Now you have a metabolic mess with these altered sugars that leaves the body full of problems.

Please do your best to get rid of as many refined carbs as possible and only splurge occasionally.

thanks eh. yep saddd most of us eat too much refined.. even growing up little things like white rice instead of basmati, white bread instead of wholemean/grain… my family back home still eats this way. i choose not to when i can… all good. much love.
